Well, I figured since it was Super Bowl Sunday, I should share my Super Bowl experience!!
We finished up and kept walking around and this is were I stink, cause I don't know enough about downtown Indy to tell you much about this area. This Monument is pretty impressive though!
Your timing was great. My 16 year old and my husband were watching the game and I walked in and told them how cool that zip line in the Super Bowl village was. My 16 year was shocked I even knew about it! Score one for mom!
I"m SOOO glad I was able to help you out! I figured someone would benefit from our outting! 
Yeah, I know, we're crazy. We like to get out and see what is going on! I don't want my kids to think we're boring. My husband's family never took family vacations growing up. His only trips were church/band trips or when his dad was working out of town. My family was poor, but we did all kinds of things. YAY! Glad to know something about it!
I love that your teacher did that! Did he get nominated for Teacher of the year??? 
We had thought we were getting back more, because we were missing one w2. Then we entered in that other w2 and it knocked us down a whole lot. 
Of course, we have PLENTY of time, but looking at that FIRST projected set of numbers had visions of paid of car AND Disney trip in one month!
Of course, paying off the car is a party event in and of itself! 
So, my plan is to switch my car payment into a Disney Payment, since I'm used to the money coming out of the account each month anyway! 
Other than the pesky snack situation! 
We had SUCH a hard time using out snack credits at Disney. Everytime we thought to use them, there would be some issue- the cart Corey stood in line for didn't take the plan, the snacks we chose weren't on the plan, the place I wanted a cupcake from was closed
things like that! We DID get a funnel cake at AK and that was TASTY! 
But I think that is the only snack we got while at a park. 
We WILL use them better this next time! For sure!!! Of course, now, I have a full list of my "dream resorts" and all my options in the future! 
I don't know about you, but in my experience (I used to work in family medicine) rapid strep tests are rarely right! We would test people with the rapid and then culture the test and find out they DID have strep. So when you test positive it was really rare! I'd rather start at the "top" and cut back. If you do want to cut costs, yes, I would drop the parkhoppers. I wouldn't drop the dining plan though. I just know last year we didn't do it, since we only stayed onsite one night...and wow, the paying out of pocket really sucks.
I am thinking of adding parkhoppers if we go this year in the spring. But also if we go this spring, I'm gonna turn Claire and My ticket into AP's because we will be back later this year. I guess i should stop planning ahead and just wait it out and see what we are actually gonna do. LOL

Does your LO like to nap? My ODD took 2 naps until she was nearly 2! She STILL takes a daily afternoon nap 80% of the time at nearly 4. 
That's the nice thing about Disney
they are smart! They know they need to give us LOTS of options to keep us guessing and re-evaluating our decisions!!
How am I suppose to start planning my days and ADR's??? Sigh
I think I'd like to try lunch or dinner though. Part of me thinks it isn't really "worth it" since Catie is so young. Beautiful view of the castle and tasty food. As I have said before, I think this is one of those "hidden treasures" in MK. I rarely see anyone post about eating there. 
This would be a dinner though, right? Anyone have any new information about this place??
'Nuff said!
So I'm a little bummed. I just went to easywdw.com and they don't have the calendar up for Nov.
Anyway, I can start my "idea" list though, right???
Here we go for our MK list .
CRT: I KNOW Cortlyn wants to go back to CRT. We had a WONDERFUL Breakfast there- so it's on the list.
We are hoping to try CRT in Dec.
The Plaza: We went here last year, and I LOVED it.
We are going to eat here the day of arrival before MVMCP (thanks to your suggestion)
Be Our Guest: Now if THIS place is opened (which I've read "late 2012" it should be, right????) I think I may like to try this!
I thought I had heard late June opening for this place..have they changed it to later in the year now??
Casey's Corner: I'm not sure WHY I'm so in love with this place- but it has a special place in my heart! Kind of tradition. But
Never have eaten here
Peco's Bill's: Isn't this the place with the burger topping bar?? That sounds SOOO Good!
Yes, this place is yummy.
Main Street Bakery: I NEED to try the cinnamon roll.
MMMM...Main Street Bakery!! The cinnamon roll is quite yummy.
And I MUST try a Dole Whip Float!
MMM!!
Any ideas or suggestions??
I am taking your advice on this and not adding them. With the crazy crowds that time of year, I cant see us using them much.
I have a whole list of snacks I want to try during our 2 trips. Cant wait!!
The Plaza should start tipping me for talking about them!
Breakfast at CRT is pretty amazing. The sunlight creates HORRIBLE pictures if you are near the window. Of course, you have a better camera than I- but I don't think it would matter.
I'm glad you've been talking it up. We really need to try something new. Your comment on the view of the castle did it for me. I had breakfast with Katie once at CP and just loved looking out at the castle. It's a shame they don't do breakfast at The Plaza.
It's been a long time since we did breakfast at CRT. But I love the light coming in the windows. You just have to be ...... "assertive"...... like me and ask the character to move a little so the light is your friend. Backlighting is awful, but side lighting can be great. Or you need a really good flash.
